Zetter Townhouse

Top choice in Clerkenwell, Shoreditch & Spitalfields


The 13 rooms in this elegant Georgian town house are uniquely decorated in period style, but with witty touches, such as headboards made from reclaimed fairground carousels, and garish colour schemes. Rooms aren't huge, but what it lacks in size it definitely makes up for in personality and charm. The exquisite cocktail lounge downstairs (which doubles as a breakfast room) is another reason to stay.
